Hotpoint Dryer Axle, Roller, Pulley Parts
Genuine Ge part
By: Ge
Part Number: WE12X83
The Idler Pulley is an OEM part for GE dryers. This critical component helps to maintain the correct tension on the dryer's drive belt, ensuring smooth operation and preventing it from slipping.
Symptoms of a bad Idler Pulley include:
- Squeaking or screeching noises during dryer operation, often a sign of bearing wear or failure.
- The dryer drum not turning smoothly, or at all, indicating that the belt may be slipping or has come off entirely due to a failed pulley.
- Excessive heat or a burning smell, which can occur if the pulley is seizing up and causing friction.
- Visible wear or damage to the pulley itself.
Causes of a bad idler pulley can include worn bearings, accumulation of lint and debris that impedes rotation, or material fatigue after prolonged use.
This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

Very loud squeal noise Thomas P. • Dundalk , MD • June 05, 2018
Repair went well, replaced the pulley wheel, belt, rear drum bearing. Had an issue after replacement with the dryer stopping after ~5mins or so when running with heat. Fluff cycle would run fine.
Details:
The lock nut on the pulley wheel didn't feel tight enough so i tried to crimp it back on the pulley arm. It then became way too lose. I had to replace it with a plastic washer I had in my toolkit. That fit snug and seems to work fine. I also added some grease to the pulley shaft under...

Drum would not rotate intermittently. Robert L. • Cary , NC • May 24, 2019
The Dryer is 10 years old GE Front Load DPVH890JEMG. The drum would intermittently not rotate at the beginning of a cycle and occasionally would rotate but then start and stop throughout the cycle. I did not check error codes, but the windings on the motor were black. So it seemed reasonable that the motor was overheating and sending a signal to the control board to stop. There is one screw under the knob and 9 screws on the front to get inside. I decided to replace the bearings, capacitor,...

The dryer was squeaking loudly George V. • Weirton , WV • December 13, 2014
I replaced the drum bearing in the back and also the nylon sliders in the front. It rook some time but was not difficult. I took some extra time to thoroughly clean all the lint from the inside.

Dryer won’t tumble belts keep breaking. Devon Ann B. • Melbourne , FL • March 27, 2021
After replacing the belt less than a year ago, when it broke again we started to think something may be going on with the idler pulley. Ordered a new belt and pulley wheel, only to have the belt break again the very next day. After a call to customer service explaining the situation, they replaced the belt and pulley wheel which were both under warranty, and suggested replacing the arm itself. We also had to replace the interlock switch. Parts arrived quickly. The repair itself took about an...
